Abstract: Over the past 20 years the labour markets of industrialized countries have undergone a series of profound changes. These changes have been associated with significant changes in work processes but until recently no attention was given to the consequences of this for occupational health and safety (OHS). This article reviews available evidence on the impact of particular labour market and work arrangements on the incidence of occupational injury and disease, the reporting and treatment of OHS problems and regulatory regimes. The evidence is fragmentary and far more research is needed.
